Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake at 425F for 10 to 12 minutes or till golden.

| I adore scones and love trying new recipes. I have always wanted to go to Cape Breton, but since I can not get there I will enjoy these scones!
